the displaced; ic

Eid celebration in Dallas on Saturday was freaking fantastic. Thank you to those who helped Samirah and I get back and forth, like, almost every day of this month. It's over now, which makes it bittersweet, because it always feels great to mingle with people of my own culture during all the years that I'm away from my actual family, and so I don't want it to end... But also, Ramadan during the month of June is killer because longer days and I GET SO HANGRY.

At least the universe decided to take people out of here after the whole month, so not to ruin the festivities. Would have preferred it added more instead of taking. Ugh.

Back in the world I was in before this one, I was staying in NYC, and NYC has a super diverse population that it didn't take very long to find a community of my own culture among the city even if my main support system isn't here. Tumbleweed... is no NYC. So, if anyone wouldn't teleporting me every once in a while over to Dallas or Houston to get that cultural feel again, I swear, I'll feed you.

Don't get too attached to the flamingo floaties. I have to drop them off at the police station because they're stolen. Not by me. By some dude who sold them to Clint.

What manner of dark magic went into making glitter? I have washed my hair countless times now and I still sparkle.

It's really too bad Dean isn't here anymore. He would be so easy to con into trying that new tarantula poison drink.

ALINA

Everyone else is back to themselves, I think, so I'm hoping you are too. Are you okay?

I'm back. Looks like I just missed more people disappearing.

Sorry to anyone who's reeling from that. Guess at least we've all got one thing in common: being the ones left behind.
